Easter sketching 2026

Each year, I sketch my Easter hot cross buns with watercolour pencils. It is a tradition. I also have a very soft jellybelly rabbit and he sometimes gets sketched.

Last year they both got sketched and I also filmed my hot cross bun sketch, so I will include it here for anyone who would like to try it.

  • Ivory
  • Warm Grey II
  • Burnt Ochre
  • Paynes grey
  • Dark Sepia
  • Black (coloured pencil) – I use for the lines where I dont want the pigment to dissolve or blend. This is the only non watercolour (in coloured pencil) pencil that I have in my sketchkit.

I was a bit ambitious to sketch this real birds next ( I have a collection of about 20) and paper eggs that I purchased from Two in a Teacup in Tasmania

I also bought myself some lovely flowers. They are so detailed, so I did not even try to capture that

Happy sketching.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
